Those who received the most attention were the wounded who had been transported from their hospitals for the day. It was reported that these men were:

‘attended by nurses in grey cloaks with red collars. Many of the soldiers appeared to have almost completely recovered from their wounds. Some, who had lost a leg, came in on crutches; others limped in on sticks. They all looked cheerful and hearty.’

There were also a group of blinded men who attended the service who, ‘bore themselves proudly’.

According to The Times report, ‘A great shout of welcome met the ANZACs as they marched into the Strand … Mingled with the shrill hurrahs of the women and the hoarser greetings of the men came echoing calls of “Coo-ee”. After a few minutes Britishers too tried to give the call, but with only partial success, and most of them came back to the national "hurrah”.’

It was reported in Australian newspapers that there was dissatisfaction amongst Australian troops as to who were included in the march. The men of the Light Horse had been chosen to head the procession, while the men of the 3rd, 2nd and 1st Brigades, who were in the original landing, were in the rear of the procession.

After the march, the troops were served lunch at the Hotel Cecil where Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes gave a speech praising the bravery and tenacity of the men who landed at Gallipoli one year prior.

This fragile printed souvenir was published in London to mark the one-year commemoration of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli.

A memorial service was held in London on the first anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. This service was held at Westminster Abbey and the King and Queen were in attendance, along with General Sir William Birdwood who had recently been knighted for his service at Gallipoli.
